Notification of Admission

Each student that has been admitted to our graduate program will receive (1) an email message from our Graduate Admissions Committee, sent immediately after the admissions decision, and (2) a formal letter of admission and support from Boston University. We regret that it takes longer than we would like for mail to reach many students. Please expect the formal letter to arrive within two to three weeks of the email notification. Any questions regarding this process should be addressed to Sarah Coenen of the Graduate Admissions Committee.

When a student has accepted an offer of admission and support, and completed and returned the Admission/Financial Assistance Response Forms and Form W-4, other forms such as the I-20 (for international students) will be sent promptly. Students who accept our offer of admission are expected to inform all other schools to which they have applied that they are withdrawing their applications. At that time, we will be most happy to do what we can to make each student's transition to the City of Boston and Boston University as pleasant as possible.
